----------------------------------------------
Summary: protected static --> static in JavadocUtil
Key: MJAVADOC-759
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-759
Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
JavadocUtil is essentially a static utility class that should not be
instantiated or subclassed. However it has many protected static methods that
likely should have been package protected (default access) instead.
If we can stomach the minor API breakage of hiding these methods, that makes
some other changes like moving to the Tool Provider API simpler.
